The body pages feature dot-graph paper printed in light gray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the real story is the paper. The entire book is printed on Yupo Synthetic paper — an extraordinary tearproof and waterproof material extruded from polypropylene pellets. Virtually indestructible, it performs exceptionally in concert with a Space Pen, making it the ideal companion for extreme conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe map of Antarctica is neither hyperbole nor coincidence. The Expedition Edition was sent to the South Pole with explorer Ben Saunders in October 2013, as he and his team retraced Captain Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated journey to the Pole and back — on foot and unsupported.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Synthetic paper is nonporous and does not absorb ink like conventional paper.
